Reposted from the Buffalo Poetics List. I am trying to get back into the habit of blogging from the list more frequently as an alternative to my current practice of forgetting about it until there are 300+ to sort through. Then it's skim subject lines and delete with no have time to read posts that interest me ~ the reason I subscribed in the first one.
Why did I chose this one? Random chance. Short notice, you say. Indeed, deadline extended to March 15, I cannot but agree. If you have a topic in mind, how long will it take to write 300-500 words? Not long at all. If you don't have one in mind, any notice would be too short.
Do you have topic preferences? Let me know. If a topic interests both of us, I'll give it a try.
